I just don't get why we would blame Treys agent when hes signed Bengals style contracts. I haven't heard 35 million per as an asking price but a 3yr 35mil per plus his current 16mil is really 30.5 per year. Seems reasonable to me. I think DE is an expensive position. The Bengals want a deal at this spot if that means lack luster production they don't care as long as it's cheap. Unfortunately Trey has been the sack leader and a top 10 edge player. They don't want to pay that so they should do him the service of trading him ( for the best offer ) and let him be compensated for his play.

The only thing we know as fact is that he is under contract for one year. That is all. Everything else is conjecture. Contractually speaking; Bengals don't have to do a thing. 

If he comes to an agreement on a one year deal, and gets a no tag clause in the language, then he can move on to the highest bidder next year.

If he cannot come to an agreement and chooses to not play, then he is essentially retiring from NFL. 

Opinion: He needs the Bengals as much, if not more, than the Bengals need him. The only card he has to play is the not play/retire card. Bengals just drafted a first rounder they can put on the field - good, bad or indifferent. But Trey has nowhere to go. 

Opinion: As a Bengal fan, I would love to see Trey on the field this year with us.
